The Star, and the Maiden. In the old myths, they were a pair of figures created to represent divine light and corporeal innocence. The young girl’s hair is long, flowing forever bound, for she is always untouched, compelled by no laws to push it underneath a hat or veil, or to keep it tied up like a prisoner. Though she is of the flesh, the Maiden is also immortal. Not an undead creature, but an eternal being. Some cultures might consider her a minor goddess, but she really is more akin to a nymph.
